Chapter 3
***Willow***
Giles pushed in the door slowly throwing one of his arms through the door while he held a cross. He shuffled in me slowly following behind. Jumping at every small sound. There was a voice coming from the basement. It was singing, or saying poetry. The voice was something she recognized, but it was so different she didn't know who's voice it was.
Giles hears it to. I can see his ears picking up the sound. He becomes more cautious, and jumps when he hears a small creak coming from the kitchen. He inches closer to the door, and shoves it open with his cross stake flying out of his hand into the vampire that was sitting at the table drinking blood from a cup, "Shit!" Blair said as he was nailed into the table by the stake. The singing stopped, and a small sound like that that a cat would make came through the vents from the basement. I walked up to the vamp as he was tugging on the stake. I kick the stake pushing it in farther. He screamed. I didn't know why I was enjoying bringing him pain. Maybe? Na it probably is I just hate vamps, "Where is she?" I ask even as Giles try's to pull me away. A thunk from the other room has us turning around.
Giles, and I both walk out of the kitchen. I hold a bottle of holy water in my right hand my other hand gripping the stake so hard my knuckles turned white. Well whiter than they already were. The sound stops. I stop wondering what or who it was. We walk up to what we think is the basement door. It has no lock so Giles opens it. A body falls out of the closet. A flash of blond hair catches my eyes as Giles catches the body falling down to his knees.
I think that it is Buffy. Then Giles pushes the hair out of the girls face, and I gasp, "Joyce," he says his voice is constricted with pain. I can now tell that he, and Joyce had been together, or else he wouldn't be reacting like he did when Jenny died. He starts to cry tracing her lips with a shaky hand of his. His hand runs over the bite mark on her neck. He stops. I have no clue what he is going to do until he yells, "KRALIK! YOU SON OF A BITCH! GET OUT HERE!"
I wonder who Kralik is until a vampire appears from under the stairs, "You rang?" he asked mockingly looking straight into Giles pained face. Giles had him by the throat in a second. Kralik easily could have pulled out of it, but didn't, "Ah... So you think I killed the woman. Well I have some good news to tell you. I didn't," I look at him in confusion. If it wasn't him then it was the other one which we had killed.
Giles loosens his grip on Kralik, but doesn't let go fully. He composes himself to his normal british manner by taking deep breaths, "Where. Is. Buffy?" he asks taking a breath between every word.
Kralik laughs out loud. I don't see what is so funny about it, but he finds it hysterical, "Buffy. Buffy. Short girl, slayer, no powers, blond hair, behind Red over there," he said. I look at him in wonder, and still am when I feel slender hands that I would remember anywhere, "Buffy," I say in a defeated voice. I can feel her breath tickling my neck. Am I wrong to be somewhat turned on by that? Whatever. She runs her tongue across my neck. Her hands feel like ice on my warm body. Giles looks at Buffy with pain, and self hatred written on his face.
"Just a little. Just want a taste," Buffy whispers in my ear. Her tongue darts out, and into my ear. I haven't seen her face, but I know she is a vamp now otherwise she wouldn't have the copper scent on her breath.
Wait! If Buffy has eat someone. I close my eyes in pain. Oh god. She killed her own mother. I gasp as she drags her fangs across my neck drawing a small, but steady trickle of blood. She laps at the blood drawing the bud of her tongue across my shoulder. Giles looks at me in horror. He is still holding Kralik down with his stake to his heart, "Ummm," she moans in contentment lapping at the blood, and now swaying behind me grinding into me.
I silently told Giles my plan through the telepathy I had somewhat mastered. He nodded saying he understood. I felt bad keeping away from him that Buffy killed Joyce not Kralik, but I understood I should tell him later. Right then Giles shoved the stake through Kralik's chest even as Kralik looked on in suprise. Buffy looked up at the small scream that came from Kralik. I shoved the cross I had in my hand into her chest closing my eyes as I felt her body shake, and heard her scream out in pain. Giles runs up, and knocks her on the head with the butt end of his stake pushing her into unconscious. I run back into the kitchen were the other vamp is. I find it empty, and curse myself.
We drag her into the book cage throwing her the rest of the way in, and shoving the door closed putting a big look on it. Giles, and I slump into the chairs surrounding the table, "She failed," Travers said stepping out of the shadows. Now that I understand everything I take a book run up to Travers, and whack him as hard as I can on the head.
"YOU ASS! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! WE WOULDN'T HAVE BUFFY LIKE THIS, AND YOU! YOU! WOULD STILL BE IN ENGLAND SITTING ON YOUR ASS LIKE A STUPID LITTLE BRITISH GUY DRINKING TEA!" I scream letting out my anger in him. Giles runs up to me, and pulls me back. Travers comes back up onto his feet slowly holding a hand to his head, "Get out," I say pointing to the door, and trying to keep my anger in control.
Travers smiles as he walks to the door, "Oh by the way. Mr. Giles," he says trying to get both of our attention which her already has, "You passes," he said with a smile on his way out that only makes me want to kill him more.
It takes me a full ten minutes of watching Buffy sleep to calm down. No not Buffy. I remind myself remembering that it was only a demon in there, "Giles I need to tell you something," I say readying myself to tell him about Buffy, and Joyce, "Giles it wasn't Kralik that killed Joyce," he looks at me in confusion, "It was Buffy."
For a while I couldn't read the expression on his face. After a while it took on the expression he had when he found out about Jenny, "No Giles. No," I say getting between him, and the book cage.
He looks at me with fury. He grabs the cross, and bottle of holy water from the table. He rushes me pushing me out of the way. I hit my head on the table. I see stars in my eyes, but also what he is doing. He takes the key from his pocket, and unlocks the door. He opens the holy water looking at Buffy even as I struggle to get up. He throws it on the side of her face that is exposed. Buffy jerks awake clawing at the side of her face screaming trying to get the holy water out as it still burned her, and now even her hands.
He pulls her up slamming her body into the file cabinet behind her thrusting the cross wherever he could, "YOU BITCH! YOUR OWN MOTHER! I LOVED HER! AS A STUPID VAMP YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT!" I put on a burst of speed, and drag him away from a bleeding, and burned Buffy. No! Not Buffy I have to get that through my head. I pull him back hard. He landed on me. By the time we got up Buffy. God! IT IS NOT BUFFY! It was gone the library door swinging back, and forth.
